... Theresa should go, question is a suitable replacement? ...


When it's put like that, you begin to see why she decided to run an "It's all about me" campaign.

One understands that Mr Cromwell is not popular in Eire

In the UK many roads are named after him

Only the mad Irish keep a grudge over some thing that happened 350+ years ago? :roll:

The Spanish and Argentinians are just as bad? :roll:

I think we should have a grudge against the yanks for taking our American Empire away - in fact put in a claim to the international court at the Hague for it to be returned?

A more mainstream leader with broader appeal would have probably won the election for Labour.

Corbyn has reduced the Labour Party to celebrating defeat as if it was a victory.

Even though the Tory press tried their damnest to character assassinated him unmercyfully continually attacking the man,without the ability to attack his policies.
Meanwhile even with all the backing of that same press and all the riches poured into the Tory party coffers,their insane policies couldn't manage to form a government.
I don't think anyone's saying Labour lost,more like the Tories were incapable of winning despite all the help of their cronies :lol: :lol: :lol: .



Labour didnt lose? :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: He promised every thing - free tuition, triple lock, renationalisation, Utopia and STILL didnt win. what else? lick your feet?

One of the DUP's policies is to abolish the TV license.

Sounds good to me.

I hope they force the Tories to do this in exchange for keeping them in power.

So the tories are now the coalition of chaos.

The gamble failed and Mrs May has made a mess of things.

It's a result she has the largest number of seats, but she is given away her majority, there's nothing to crow about. She hasn't even agreed the terms with the DUP.

I'm disappointed at the lack of flippancy in this thread, but so be it. Speaking as someone with a maths background, perhaps I should urge people to consider derivatives rather than static values. Maybe even second derivatives? What might be the value of:

d² (tory votes)
dt²

then? Negative?

Not enough of a result though,she lost support and scraped in by allying with the DUP,that's a result?

Well it is but not as we know it Jim!
Now what about those clingons on the starboard Bow?
